Kohada A repair & tuning toolkit for the PS3 system controller (syscon) What is it? Kohada is a tool that talks to the PS3 syscon (Mullion / Sherwood) over UART. It dumps and edits the syscon EEPROM, decodes the error log, and exposes a pile of documented EEPROM config knobs (fan curves...

XDR follows the same frequency table as CELL but at a different NVS offset (0x312C and 0x312D). For example, an XDR OC to 3.8GHz would be w 312c 02 11

If any of you want updates, the firmware to patch the timebase in lv0 has been published. This approach patches lv0 to dynamically calculate the timebase frequency at runtime. The only limitation is the does not have the required space to add two extra PPC instructions in lv0 to calculate the...

RSX NEC/TOKIN failure, does the system take a few seconds to YLOD? If so, dead caps are the likely cause.

> Out of curiosity what could've possibly caused checksum validation problems so severe it couldn't even try to power up, as it booted up fine to XMB after disabling validation? I'm not sure, I haven't seen this at all on an untampered system. It happens if you update a value in EEPROM without...

Try "w 3292 FF" This disables the checksum validation on boot.

Doing it through CFW would be dangerous and a brick risk. If you write values to syscon and reboot to an unstable value, you'd have no way of returning to stock without physical access to syscon.

Posting from the UK, stuff seems to be back to normal now.

Hello. I've recently bought a parts console off eBay for quite cheap. I was expecting a CECHG03 for parts to land at my door. But to my surprise, I was greeted with chrome trim and a label that read "CECHC03". With the sellers failing eyes aside, I plugged it in hoping to be greeted with the...
